Nearly completed,
Ive replaced all the rigging wires
just need to paint the wing when the weather warms up a bit
Drill the cowl for nylon inserts Hopefully this will eliminate the Cowl coming loose
Having removed the rudder horn or what ever it’s called, reviled that it was in good order and not been hacked about, apart from one niggle, the nuts were the wrong size for the thread
goin a closed loop anyway so it will be replaced
I’ve had a look at the elevator horn and came up with this
I was planning to have something bolted all the way through But think this will be ok with the correct glue an some side pinning
What do you chaps think
The elevator suffered from a poor Snake installation,
I’m going to make this one push rod
6mm carbon tube and 3mm treaded rod
once made I shall fit the lock nut and some heat shrink over the rod
Depends on quantity,
I still also cut ribs by various Old school Methods,
Doing the CAD is a slow process for me
The machines Can reduce the need for semi decent hand skills, so a real bonus for me
Next up is to fire up the CNC router and cut some ribs for the rebuild of the Green and Silver Stampe,
Hopefully the cut files will still be on the computer since curt some for Williams Blue Stampe so should be fairly straight forward
All ready to cover,
Although ow would have been better if I could get 1.2M of Solartex Satin Cub Yellow
I've primed it with some Cover Grip
Be interesting to see how it compares to Balsaloc
Ive ordered the paint
